]]> 51276 1 34 Tip For even greater stability, slice off a thin plane from the bottom of the mango to create a flat surface on which it can rest.

]]> 99684 2 41 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/95487/41.jpg With your paring knife, make a cut that’s slightly off center from the stem to find the large center pit. Once you have located it, slice lengthwise all the way down the fruit alongside the pit.

]]> 51278 3 56 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/95487/56.jpg Place cut section aside Place the cut section aside.

]]> 51279 4 59 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/95487/59.jpg Cut mango lengthwise In the same manner, cut the mango flesh lengthwise along the other side of the pit.

]]> 51280 5 64 Tip You can discard the remaining flesh and pit—or gnaw on it to prime your taste buds for what’s to come.

]]> 51281 6 72 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/95487/72.jpg Make vertical cuts Take one section of the cut mango, hold it in your palm with the peel side down, and make three or four vertical cuts through the flesh, being careful not to cut through the skin.

]]> 51282 7 84 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/95487/84.jpg Make horizontal cuts Rotate the mango 90 degrees and make four or five horizontal cuts that crisscross the vertical cuts.

]]> 51283 8 93 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/95487/93.jpg Repeat on other half Repeat on the other mango half. You should now have two scored mango halves.

]]> 51284 9 100 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/95487/100.jpg Cut cubes away Flip a scored mango half inside out, so the fruit resembles a mango porcupine, and with the paring knife, cleanly cut the cubes away from the peel and into your bowl.

]]> 51285 10 113 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/95487/113.jpg Repeat w/ other half Repeat with the other half.

]]> 51286 11 116 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/95487/116.jpg Discard peels & enjoy Discard the peels and enjoy the fruits of your labor.

]]> 51287 12 123 Fact Color doesn’t matter. If you want a great mango, choose one with smooth, unblemished skin and a heavy feel. Mangos are often unripe when picked but will soften (and sweeten) on your counter.
